Assistant Manager Instructions

I thought that a useful feature, especially for managers who can't log on for various reasons, would be a feature with which you could inform your Assistant Manager about the types of formation you would like to use for the different types of game.

For example, if you couldn't set the team for the various types of game:

Selection A for League Matches
Selection B for Cup
Selection C for FrC
Selection D for Fr.

Of course this feature would only work for SPFA members since they're the only ones able to set multiple lineups, but I thought it would be a helpful feature.

This way, if you've got a friendly and you're unable to set your lineup, the Assistant won't field your best players if you wanted your second or third squad fielding.

yeh i like it good idea. i cant always log on for matches in the league, so would be good if it automatically chose a squad for different types of games.

He put the A team when you havent do the formation and he also puts the best player(or a sub) when your formation has only 10 players fielded

And there are occasions where you would have preferred the B,C or D team to be fielded, right?

He doesn't always field the best players. A 85% CM will perform better at the RM than a 50% RM, but your assistant will play the poor RM.

Yes.
But that will mean your best RM is 50% because he puts the best player there.

Even so, if the 50% isnt a sub (when those 5 fields are full) he wont play

It's the best RM, but not the best player to play at that position.

But we're not talking about individual players here, we're talking about telling the Assistant which lineup to field in the event that the manager hasn't already specified it. I could tell him to field my a team in league matches should I not be able to do it myself, and at the same time to field my C team in friendlies. At the moment he'd just play my best players, which isn't necessarily what I want to happen.
